Polygon founder Sandeep Nailwal shares his predictions for the future of blockchain, expecting the creation of thousands of specialized chains for various applications.
Thousands of Specialized Blockchain Chains
Sandeep Nailwal asserts that customization of blockchains will be the key feature for developing applications that will be in demand among various consumer groups. "In the very near future, we will see thousands of chains custom built for very niche purposes," he noted.
What are Appchains?
Appchains, or application-specific blockchains, are decentralized networks built with adjustable parameters. Unlike monolithic blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, appchains can be tailored to fit the business logic of specific decentralized applications.
The Role of Agglayer in the Ecosystem
Agglayer is a new cross-network infrastructure protocol backed by the Polygon ecosystem that promises to unify all purpose-built blockchains. Agglayer is expected to play a crucial role in connecting various classes of decentralized networks, covering areas such as DeFi, GameFi, and real asset tokens.
According to Sandeep Nailwal's predictions, the future of blockchain lies in the creation of specialized chains for various applications, potentially leading to more efficient and targeted solutions in decentralized technology.
